The arrival of autumn signals one of the most exciting foodie seasons. However, as the leaves begin to fall, so can energy and immune levels,  often leading to the dreaded seasonal sniffles.

So this October, we’ve teamed up with recipe developer and food blogger, Eli Brecher, to bring you a showstopping, superfood Spicy Pumpkin Soup. Served in the skin, it will not only look pretty on instagram feeds, but will provide an extra boost of flu-fighting nutrients too.

Packed with energy-boosting B12 and nutrient-dense chlorophyll, just a spoonful of Bioglan Superfoods Green Boost, stirred into your pretty pumpkin pot is all you’ll need to speed up your metabolism and provide your body with the iron it needs to help prevent tiredness and fatigue as the days become shorter.
